Our team of experienced trainers who will make this course fun, interesting, practical and relevant to your workplace.

The HSE are looking to update and simplify the numbers of first aiders within the workplace by amending the current three categorys (low, medium and high risk) to two: low and high. This will aid companies in their risk assessment and decision making process as to which course they should send their staff on. The new three day First Aid at Work course or the new one day Emergency First Aid at Work course.

Be aware you may need to perform a new first aid risk assessment to ensure your company complies with this new legislation.The HSE have a pdf available to download called First Aid at Work Your Questions Answered to help you.
